So should you turn off your wireless router when you go to bed at night? Read on for the truth!

Should I turn off the wireless router when I go to bed at night? I didn’t expect that this non-issue would cause such a heated debate on the Internet.

Some people believe that keeping a wireless router on 24 hours a day wastes electricity and produces radiation, which can affect human health, especially when sleeping.

Another group of people think that wireless routers are used by users 24/7 and it doesn’t matter if they don’t turn them off. There is no need to cut off the power to the refrigerator, TV and other electrical appliances at home.

From all angles, there is actually no need to turn off the wireless router when you sleep.

From a health perspective, WiFi is a radio wave and the radiation it generates is electromagnetic radiation.

According to national standards, the transmission power of a wireless router is not allowed to exceed 100mW, which is far lower than the limited standards in Europe and the United States.

Therefore, the radiation generated by the wireless router will not have any radiation impact on the human body.

In terms of service life, wireless routers are designed to be used 24/7.

In addition, the manufacturer will also test it at high and low temperatures, so there will be no problem with long-term stable operation indoors in summer or severe winter.

Moreover, when running 24 hours a day, an average household wireless router consumes about 45 degrees of electricity per year, and the electricity bill is only about 20-30 yuan, which is about the price of a meal.
